So, I began attending church, singing, and writing my own songs from the age of 8/9. At 15 I began touring the Midlands with my groups and doing concerts with the worship team, it was amazing! I definitely knew I loved Jesus, understood what He did for me, and had this overwhelming sense of worship for Him. I was on fire for Christ and got baptised at 16. After school I had no desire for university, but had a passion to learn more about my faith, which is where PEACE (School of Evangelism) came into play. I spent 4 months away from home learning about my faith and sharing it. It was powerful. After this foundational experience, I decided to go to uni, which is where it all started to change! The cares of pre adulting hit me and I became aware that new priorities were sinking in. Nothing like the priorities I had as a 16 year old!

Pastel Colours are becoming a trend once again. They are becoming very popular, especially within the minimalist community. Pastel shades give each room a soft and fresh feel without the vivid pop of bright and intense colours. These light shades are often seen as calming and once paired with the right textures and décor can give your home a simple and elegant look.

Born again? Huh? What do you mean? This is basically how Nicodemus reacted when Jesus told him that to enter into the kingdom of God we must be born again in John 3. The topic of being born again has been popping up in my mind for a long time now and has come up in conversation with friends during bible study. It has made me think about what it is to truly born-again. God is teaching me something in this season of my life and I am glad to have this opportunity to write about this.

When dairy farmer William Franklin Graham Sr. and his wife first held their son in the autumn of 1918, little did they imagined that this boy would change the landscape of evangelism of the 20th-century. No; William Franklin Graham Jr. – Billy, for short – only imbibed himself in books, swung on trees like Tarzan and gave out a yell with a thundering voice that the world, many decades later, would hear. Despite being diligently raised in a local Presbyterian church, Graham’s life was not smooth-sailing – in fact, his youth group considered him “too worldly.” He was almost expelled from Bob Jones College – if not for the words of Bob Jones Sr. himself, “You have a voice that pulls. God can use that voice of yours. He can use it mightily.”

As the snow finally melts to give way to the bright glow of spring, it’s time to redecorate your home and make it ready for the new season. After soaking in the lonely colours of white and grey, bring in something fresh and vibrant – like the cheery colour of yellow – which will help reinforce a positive, happy mood. Yellow is a powerful energy-booster; it illuminates dark rooms and creates a feeling of excitement. Think about the sun, the sparkling stars, the bright sunflowers. Even the Bible pays attention to this colour; the symbolic shade of gold is a reminder of God’s glory shining all about.

Writing blog posts requires a lot of research on the topic and reading. This post was definitely a sign from God himself reminding me of who he is and who I am in Him. I would also like whoever is reading this to find the same freedom and truth that I truly understood today. This is what the blood of Jesus means to me. Before writing this post, I was truly struggling in...

As February is the month of love, I am writing a post of home ware items to give your house a pop of colour. Red is mainly associated with love among many things. Not only is it a great colour but it is bright and has many symbolisms. It is the colour of strength, boldness and passion. Finding lovely home ware to compliment your home may seem difficult but finding even simple pieces and do a lot for your home. The items I have listed are some that I found to be really nice pieces to compliment your home. They can be found in store or online.

Heard of The 5 Love Languages? At the moment, my primary languages are Quality Time and Words of Affirmation. It's how I most effectively receive love from others, including God. After reading The Love Languages of God by Gary Chapman, my eyes were opened to the practicality of God's love. It occurred to me, that since He made love, He can be a loving and affectionate God too, not just authority without feelings. It describes how God has love needs that we can meet; yes, He delights in our worship, but why? Because He's a God of Quality Time, and more.

Is it possible to be selfish and selfless as the same time? On the surface, not quite. But then where does self love come in? It’s often said that self love is not selfish, and I agree! Although in the same call for us to love and appreciate ourselves (wholly) we are still called to be selfless. The biblical understanding of selflessness (Galatians 2:20, Mark 8:34) is a denying of self, but note, selflessness is not self harm.

This February – the month of love – as windows get decorated with paper cut hearts and pink ribbons, when chocolate-giving is in earnest, it’s just right that we turn our thoughts toward the Greatest Valentine of all: the One Who Chased After Your Heart, Never Broke His Promises, and Kept Your Name in the Palm of His Hands. And to remind you of His great love for you, here are seven truths in line with seven verses. If you’re running out of stock, or you think that human emotions are fleeting, you can be assured that His is yours forever.

People all over the world are celebrating the month of February with the best theme in mind: love. It is in the air – in the songs played in the radio, the decorative elements in your favourite café, the chick flicks shown on your cable channel. Valentine’s Day has turned our heads around and everyone is gearing up for their secret surprise.

It’s the beginning of the year and a lot of people want to start something new, so why not start journaling. Not everyone likes writing about their day but with these five types of journaling you can find a method of journaling that you like and can hopefully continue.

Journaling is like a form of therapy and it is much needed in this day and age. Society has created so many distractions within our everyday lives such as social media. We need time to just stop and reflect. A journal is the perfect way to do so. It gives us a clearer vision as to what we want, our true thoughts and helps us release our deepest emotions from the tip of a pen to the surface of a sheet of paper. Here are three benefits of journaling and prompts you can use to help you start...

Journaling is an act of intentional writing for the purpose of reflection, creation or mindfulness. It is usually carried out in written form although some choose to keep an online journal. At the least, it’s writing and at the most, it’s the same.

2018 has arrived at the blasting of trumpets – or more so, in the gilding of fireworks in the night sky, and the shouts of thrill and cheer of your favourite people as the clock strikes twelve. Here we go: another chance to chase after goals, to make up for the loss, to begin again. There’s hope in your hearts and fire in your eyes as you anticipate; surely, God’s miracles are about to work their way into your life. When will they happen? You don’t know yet.

The new year arrives with new trends, and for the Creative Christian, you’d want to reinvent your favourite corners into modern spaces that match the demands of today. It’s time to leave yesterday’s garb behind and start afresh with new eyes – and interior design – that will keep your space on trend this 2018. Your home, after all, is your sanctuary.
